Abstract(s)
Este projecto pretende analisar as percepções dos elementos de uma equipa local de intervenção precoce (ELI) acerca das suas práticas típicas enquanto técnicos e as práticas que estes consideram ideais. Tendo como base a Escala de Avaliação de Serviços: Famílias em Ambientes Naturais (Families in Natural Environments Scale of Services Evaluation [FINESSE]; McWilliam, 2000), propusemo-nos a analisar e comparar as práticas típicas de profissionais de uma ELI com as práticas que estes consideram ideais. Os resultados obtidos revelam que os profissionais relatam diferenças entre as práticas actuais e as práticas ideais num conjunto relevante de dimensões, implementando práticas orientadas essencialmente para a criança e, em menor grau, para o aumento das competências e autoconfiança da sua família. Esperamos que os resultados obtidos contribuam para uma reflexão acerca das mudanças que, eventualmente, poderão ser introduzidas, no sentido de diminuir a discrepância entre práticas típicas e práticas ideais.
This project aims to analyze the perceptions of the elements of a local team of early intervention (ELI) about their typical practices as professionals and practices that they consider ideal. Based on the Families in Natural Environments Scale of Evaluation Services (FINESSE) (McWilliam, 2000), we decided to analyze and compare the practices of professionals from a typical ELI the practices that they consider ideal. The results of this study will contribute to a reflection on changes that eventually could be introduced, in order to reduce the discrepancy between the typical practices and best practices. The results show that professionals reported differences between current practices and best practices in a relevant set of dimensions, implementing practices primarily focused on the child and to a lesser extent, on increasing the skills and confidence of the family. We hope that the results contribute to a reflection of changes that eventually could be introduced, in order to reduce the discrepancy between typical practices and best practices
